Random Stat & Britt Discussion

Since Kenny is in a contract year I expect him to be playing out of his mind like he was in 2011 before he had his injury.

However, I think the Titans are in a lose/lose situation with him. If he does have an amazing season, he'll test the FA market and someone will pay him more than we will. If he has another year like last year, the Titans will let him go and not resign him. So either way, I think this is Kenny's last year as a Titan.

We will be able to tell how the Titans feel about him if they take a WR in the first 3 rounds, which I think is likely.

Jerry Rice is far from the most gifted WR to ever play football. Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Calvin Johnson, etc, are much more physically talented than Rice ever was. And Jerry Rice would agree with that too.

But I doubt you will ever find anyone that gave you the sort of effort on every single play that Jerry Rice gave you. And that is where he seperates from the pack. That is why he is the GOAT and no one will ever touch him. In many ways, he is much like Michael Jordan. Jordan wasn't the most talented player to ever play basketball, but he was extremely talented nonetheless and possessed all the extra intangibles that made him the GOAT of basketball.

No one will ever touch Rice?!?! Rice is just the Brett F. of WR's! If you play long enough of course you will break records. Calvin already broke his record for most receiving yards and he is just at the beginning of his prime!

Right now we have an estimated cap number of 119 million for the 2014 season without adding in our rookie contracts this season. The estimated salary cap for 2014 is 124 million. So we are going into the 2014 season with a little over 5 million dollars. The franchise tag for a WR is over 10 million dollars which is a lot of money for us who (no matter how good he does next season) is no where near a guarantee to play 16 games. There is also the possibly the Britt chooses to hold out until he has a long term deal and that would be disastrous for our team.

Now there are moves that we could make to free up cap room: cutting Nate Washington, Eugene Amano, Kamerion Wimbley, Michael Griffin, Craig Stevens, Lavelle Hawkins, and Chris Johnson would create about 25 million in cap room but that is money we need to spend upgrading our team and resigning some of our younger players.

In the next 3 seasons we have a number of players leaving our defense:

2014Benard Pollard

2015AyersCaseyMcCarthy

2016MorganMartinBrownHill

On that list I see 4 players that will most likely be major contributors here in Tennessee (Martin, Ayers, Morgan, Brown) and there is also Velasco to worry about. Not to mention if Jake Locker takes off we will need to be ready to resign him to a long term deal (2015).
